Had dim sum and beef pan fried noodles. Food tastes good and fresh. Pan fried noodles should have Chinese broccoli not American broccoli. But was very good.

I just passed by this restaurant after shopping and went to eat. I was overjoyed. They have a lunch menu. The price is not expensive and there are many varieties. The fried food is delicious and the plates are big. The service is also very good. I must try it. Restaurant.

They added water to my sweet and sour sauce. You can’t win with these establishments. If it’s not one thing it’s another.

We had dim sum lunch here, and it was surprisingly decent! The place would get 3 for the dim sum but definitely a four for NJ. The place was not maintained well, dark and run down. Servers were not professional but they were nice and helpful.

A place where you can enjoy authentic Cantonese dim sum, nothing fancy. The dim sum is of the standard of an old-school teahouse, and there is only one type of tea available. Not all snacks are available, so you need to ask first. He can speak Cantonese, Mandarin and English. I don't know if he is the boss, but he is very polite. I have a strong memory for ordering snacks and so on. It’s also a good choice to try here before going to the American Dream.

We visited Secaucus today & decided to stop at China Chef. Haven't been here in 10 years. We were so disappointed. I had a Mai Tai that tasted like it was mixed with rancid juice and rubbing alcohol. My husband ordered a pina colada that wasn't frothy, tasted like a box of mix and water with shredded fake coconut. They brought noodle chips to the table with only sweet sauce, no hot mustard. Had an order of pastie fried dumpling with soy sauce, tasteless. Husband had MooGooGai Pan, it was very bland, tasted like chicken soup he said. I had chicken & broccoli with a brown sauce. It was good but some of the chicken was tough. Also had a wonton soup (2 wonton in it) it was tasty. Took an order home of orange chicken for our daughter and she didn't care for it. It was overcooked. Bill came to $81.50!! then they had the nerve to ask if we're leaving a tip of $15. When asked if our drinks were ok, he noticed we didn't drink them. We told him the problem, he did nothing about it and then your asking for a tip! One waiter and three tables of 2 were all he was dealing with at the time too. The fish tank is filthy and there is nothing spectacular about the atmosphere. We were very disappointed as we use to love this place. It really has gone downhill and we have no intention of returning again. It just doesn't make the grade anymore. Saturday night at 7 pm and no one in the place. It use to be a wait for a table, it was that good. So sad

my family and i have been coming here for years, it’s comforting to know they are still operating. service is always quick and attentive. the food can be ordered off the cart or through a waiter. i personally dont think they have that many options but they definitely have the basics down. the food is always fresh and delicious! personal favorite are the shrimp dumplings and pork ribs. we came 10 minutes after opening time on a sunday, and the place was full within the hour! i believe it is worth a visit for a meal with the family.

The food, the people, the price, and the place overall is the best for dim sum!I’ve been coming here since I was a little girl with my family growing up, and hope to do so for many more years to come.Some may say the establishment is “out dated” but it’s actually the most authentic and true definition of what a small business is. It pains me to see how empty it’s gotten since covid, so if you’re reading this.. Pay them a visit, especially when it’s dim sum weekends with their carts!
Parking: So much free parking in their own lot!
